What would be if God did NOT EXIST YET in our mind/belief?

I'm sure that if someone invented a path of enlightenment one of two things would happen. They would sell this belief and the religion would grow, or they would find that no one was interested in their beliefs and the religion would die. I think people are inventing new philosophies constantly. New religions are born and die each year.

Hello my friend cornyman Ji, I find little contradiction in your opinion. One side, you agree that, before Budh,Jesus Or Mohammed existed, still tehre was a God, whom people preyed and tahnked for food, also you agree, there were Gods for Fire for rain, for food, why do you go for names in particular, God did exist, but in different Forms. You may find that, Budha was born to someone, who also believed God and Prayed, exactly in similar manners others as well. So there should not be any doubt taht God ever existed. God always existed , who is also responsible of our existance evn now. He is our creator/destryer. We are just dolls in HIS/HER Hands. May God bless all and have a great time

I'm not sure whwta the world would look like or belike. I am glad that we have the thoughts of God in it.

I'm a little confused, do you mean a new God or energy source would be found? If so don't you think that anything like that is and alway has been there, just waiting for discovery?

God was the creator of man so there was always a god. god came first then man...Unless I'm not understanding the question.

being Wicca I believe that there is more than one god and one godess. And the mother of us all is the EArth itself. So even today there are those who beklieve that there are many gods each with their own unique qualifications.

They did have a teacher. From what all there things say. Native Americans seen and talked to someone from what some of there old teachings say. But when they prayed for rain it is just a prayer. Just like all of us today. I really don't think any thing would change. You have a good day.

That is a good question and up for a lot of controversy. I don't really think that I have pondered this question before. I thought that the idea of God had been around for ages and always was. But I can imagine before the many teachings of different people such as Jesus or Mohammed I imagine that man had different beliefs. Therefore I can't really imagine how to answer this question correctly. There could be so many different viewpoints.

Yeahit is sure a tricky question but whatever anyone would think up now cannot suddenly change the minds of many including myself because the religions of today in one way or the other points to the source and the finite end of life and after life. Am sure they are going to draw from existing ideologies tto make it up and that would only end up helping you understand the essence of the question you are asking there is but one God; Jehova. He has angels that are responsible for many things that happen hence the various gods of rain, fertility, fire and the likes. Mohammed and Jesus are pathways to HIM and so is BUddha and the rest of them. However he didn't exist yet.. we would love nature and ask questions about it which would necessitate HIM revealing himself in the creations of his Power, might and love for us all...unifying our every search to end bhaving him there.

Simple! We would like be an animals, we just die and nothing at all. It would just be enjoying ourselves while still living. Just like " Be merry for tomorrow you will die". Right now, on our time there are lots of people doing that. Those atheists. thanks

If I am understanding the question correctly you are referring to how would someone react to someone making a new God? Personally, I would not worship it or anything, it isn't historic, hence, has no true rationality of proof. Others maybe if they thought it would give them an advantage, or just to be in the " in " group .

I think then world would be better then before since then people would believe on their self which is much better then this situation that there is some other person outer where in the world who guide us. On believing our self will increase the confindence people and that way life and world become more better then now

In a sense, God has always existed. From my perspective god is me, so in my own way I have created god (at least in my mind). I think this has to do with each human viewing the world from a different axis, and everything always seems to surround yourself. So, it is highly possible that a person could "invent" a god (even one such as the one(s) of a religion). With enough manipulation it is possible. A small collaboration of individuals makes these even a higher possibility. Take for example the Bible. It was written by very few individuals. It contains enough in its book that enable people to feel enlightened, empowered, saddened by humanity, and in love with God by the end of it due to what he is said to have done (sending his son and such). Now, examine how easily people latch onto books and films (among other things). Lord of the Rings is a relevant example. It was written by one man, but has been capable of reaching into so many cultures and societies due to how it was written and how it can relate to so many people (and ultimately make them feel good). Now, the Bible and Lord of the Rings are eerily similar in that they both have a built in fan base (that inevitably started with single individuals, then the public gets word of how great it is, causing so many people to fall in love). These both have been adapted (in different forms) into movies, games, video games, and even music. What is the difference? One is said to be a pathway to salvation, while the other is only intended for entertainment (and practically says that is all it is intended for). Now, what if J.R.R Tolkien inserted information in his book that could lead someone to "salvation"? Could Lord of the Rings potentially become a mass religious belief? It would be possible. You may be thinking, "this is absurd", however when you examine how cults function; it is really not that big of a stretch.

i cant get it., im sorry buddy, can you rephrase it for me?

Might just al lbe better off. THey always had something to pray too. Even whe the first man got here . SOme one decided they needed something to pray for even sacrafises to appeace the gods The NAvajo's still have thier blessing ways for every thing. and I sure would like to see one myself. WE only have got where we are wuith wars and that because some one wants more power or more land. Then they say it is for the religion bunch of bunk they just greedy. adn I know I will go be with my loved ones wehn I pass from this place on earth. Just go to the other side that walks next to us but we cant see.

My bible tells me that there have been someone there to tell the people about GOD, and what he wants us to do with our lives, since the beginning of time. God himself spoke to Adam and Eve, then there was Noah, that spoke to the people and told them what God told him. Later there was Abraham then Jesus. Buddha, Mohammad and other that you can place in the same "basket" were lesser gods and profits of the god Bale whom was a false god in the readings I have seen.

Your question is a bit confusing. But I guessing you're asking what if someone came up with a new and unique religious belief that developed a strong following. How would that change our perceptions of religion? (I may be totally wrong). In ancient times, people were far more isolated than they are now. Far more isolated. People believed that the world was only as big as they could walk it. It was easy for disparate religions to develop. Insular communities developed their own faith systems based on the people, geography, etc. However, as trade began, you'll notice that a lot of faiths began to resemble each other. Almost all belief systems had some form of the good/evil dichotomy. There was good in the world, and there was evil. Almost all faith systems had the concept of humanity's fall from grace. The Garden of Eden is not unique in the religions of the world. As humanity developed, so did its faith systems. There are still polytheistic beliefs in the world. If a new religion were to emerge, it would become one of the many. There would be more debate and probably some physical conflict. For a new Truth to be espoused, it would take a monumental event to convince people that such a thing had validity. If you're asking, what if we've gotten it wrong all these years, and God is actually something completely different, than no human could really postulate. It would be up to the Creator to dictate to us what terms our lives would now be under. If we've been wrong for millenia, how could we possibly guess what the right answer would be?

religion has been a very sensitive and controversial issue bec until now no religion has proven itself that it is the true religion..well, anyway, i think religion does not really matter, what matters is the belief of people in the existence of God or a Supreme Being. i think, life would not be that meaningful and bearable if we don't have the belief or hope for a Supreme Being to guide. the people from years back created their own beliefs in their desperation to struggle through life. knowing that there is one powerful God ready to help them and provide what they need, it give them hope to continue living their lives.

first of all people will not believe it. God will have to prove himself that He is God.
